Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to dwell.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the proper noun Dor, as it is a specific place name. However, the concept of cities and regions in the New Testament can be related to Greek terms for cities or regions, though none directly correspond to Dor. Usage: Dor is mentioned in the context of a city and its surrounding region, often in relation to its conquest and allocation among the tribes of Israel. It appears in various historical and geographical contexts within the Old Testament. Context: Dor was a significant Canaanite city situated on the Mediterranean coast, approximately 8 miles north of Caesarea. It is first mentioned in the Bible in the context of the conquests of Joshua. In Joshua 11:2, Dor is listed among the cities whose kings joined forces against Israel. The city was later assigned to the tribe of Manasseh, although it was located within the territory of Asher (Joshua 17:11). Despite its allocation to Manasseh, the Israelites struggled to fully drive out the Canaanite inhabitants, as noted in Judges 1:27. Dor's strategic location made it a key maritime and trade center, and it was known for its production of purple dye, a valuable commodity in the ancient world. The city is also mentioned in 1 Kings 4:11, where it is noted as part of Solomon's administrative districts, indicating its continued importance during the united monarchy. Archaeological evidence suggests that Dor was a fortified city with significant cultural and economic influence during its time.
